Everything You Need at the Byron Nelson

There’s a big golf tournament in town this week. Called the Byron Nelson. And it got us thinking... about
your pants. And hats. And caddies. And how whether you’re playing or spectating, you could use some of
each. So, herewith... some of each.

FOR DOFFING

The Custom Newsboy Cap

Lord Byron was a pretty natty dresser. Argyle sweaters. Cashmere caps. Impeccably tied ties. So to honor the
man himself, try one of these bespoke hats from the House of MacGregor. They’ll stitch you a custom cap
that’ll keep your face shaded on the course. That ought to help the ol’ handicap.

The Madras Pants

Since wearing shorts on the course is more of a Q-School thing, you might like this pair of madras leg
holsters from Bills Khakis. They’re lightweight, they’re breathable, and they make you really easy to
spot should Bubba Watson need a swing tip. Or need to borrow your pants.

The Suede Brogues

Four days of golf... that’s a lot of walking. And standing. And just generally being upright. So good
shoes seem like a sound investment. Like these Italian-made suede brogues from Rye 51. They’ve got that
stylish, wear-with-anything look the Italians are famous for. Well, that and gelato.

The Club Grips

Golf grips are pretty important. Help you grip the club and swing and whatnot. So try these American-made
leather ones from Pebble + Pine. They’re genuine cowhide infused with weatherproof ProTac, which ought to
keep you from throwing your driver. Actually, that may be more of a temper issue...

The Personal Caddie

It’s possible you’re actually playing this week. Or maybe you’d just like some extra company while you
watch on 17. Either way, you should hire a caddie. He’ll read your putts, hold your bag (or beverage) and
generally make you better at golf. He’s cool like that.
